Politics blatantly ignoring the science? It’s so wrong, and Sid Schwab has a few choice words:
. . . dammit, there are some areas in which reality — not to mention the common good — ought to trump politics, ideology, and theology. People argue, and I don’t disagree, that science isn’t the same as policy; that scientists aren’t the ones setting political agenda. Fair enough. But when science is simply ignored, redacted, or debased, then we are all the worse off.
